澳大利亞的金融監管機構將尋求高等法院的許可，以對下級法院的裁決提出上訴。

澳大利亞證券和投資委員會於5月21日表示，它希望要求澳大利亞高等法院澄清金融產品的定義是什麼，並闡明借出利息產品以及資產從一種形式轉換為另一種形式的情況。

Australia’s financial regulator will seek the High Court’s permission to appeal a lower court’s ruling favoring fintech firm Block Earner, which found the company’s crypto-linked fixed-yield earning service is not a financial product.

澳大利亞的金融監管機構將尋求高等法院的許可，上訴下級法院對金融​​科技公司Block收入者的裁決，該公司發現該公司與加密貨幣固定收益的固定收益服務不是金融產品。

The Australian Securities and Investment Commission said on May 21 that it wants to ask the High Court of Australia to clarify what the definition of a financial product is and clarify the circumstances when an interest-earning product and the conversion of assets from one form to another are regulated.

澳大利亞證券和投資委員會於5月21日表示，它希望要求澳大利亞高等法院澄清金融產品的定義是什麼，並闡明借出利息產品以及資產從一種形式轉換為另一種形式的情況。

“The definition of financial product was drafted in a broad and technology-neutral way, and ASIC believes it is in the public interest to clarify this,” the watchdog said.

看門狗說：“金融產品的定義是以廣泛而技術上的方式起草的，ASIC認為澄清這一點符合公共利益。”

On April 22, Federal Court Justices David O’Callaghan, Wendy Abraham and Catherine Button found that Block Earner’s crypto-linked fixed-yield earning product is not a financial product, a managed investment scheme or a derivative under the Corporations Act.

4月22日，聯邦法院大法官戴維·奧卡拉漢（David O'Callaghan），溫迪·亞伯拉罕（Wendy Abraham）和凱瑟琳·巴頓（Catherine Button）發現，根據《公司法》，Block Earner與加密貨幣固定收益的固定收益產品不是金融產品，或者是公司法。

ASIC said the court will consider its application. Special leave is required in an appeal to the High Court, and it’s only granted in cases where it would answer significant legal questions or matters of public interest.

阿西奇說，法院將考慮其申請。在向高等法院提出呼籲時，需要特別假，並且僅在回答重大法律問題或公共利益事項的情況下才授予。

A Block Earner spokesperson told Cointelegraph the matter has now escalated to a “broader legal question” around the definition of a financial product, which extends “well beyond Block Earner, and the crypto sector.”

一位收入收入者發言人告訴Cointelegraph，此事現已介紹了關於金融產品的定義的“更廣泛的法律問題”，該產品擴展了“超出了Block Charner和Crypto行業”。

“We believe the Full Federal Court’s April ruling was a strong and well-reasoned decision that upheld the integrity of our operations,” the spokesperson said. “We remain confident in the soundness of that judgment and will respond to ASIC’s application through the appropriate legal channels.”

發言人說：“我們認為，聯邦法院的四月裁決是一個堅定而有理由的決定，維持了我們行動的完整性。” “我們對這一判斷的健全性有信心，並將通過適當的法律渠道響應ASIC的應用。”

Legal saga ongoing since 2022

自2022年以來的法律傳奇

ASIC first launched legal proceedings against Block Earner in November 2022, arguing the company needed a financial services license to offer its yield product, which was available from March 17, 2022, until the company shut it down on Nov. 16, 2022.

ASIC於2022年11月首次針對Block收入者提起法律訴訟，認為該公司需要一項金融服務許可來提供其收益產品，該產品可從2022年3月17日開始使用，直到該公司於2022年11月16日將其關閉。

In February 2024, an Australian court initially ruled the fintech firm would need a financial services license to operate its crypto yield-bearing products.

2024年2月，澳大利亞一家法院最初裁定這家金融科技公司將需要金融服務許可來運營其加密貨幣產量產品。

Another June 2024 ruling in Australia’s Federal Court released Block Earner from any financial penalties because it had “acted honestly” and pursued its legal opinions before launching the products, which ASIC appealed.

2024年6月在澳大利亞聯邦法院的另一項裁決釋放了任何經濟罰款，因為它“誠實地行事”並在推出產品之前提出了法律意見，ASIC提出了上訴。

Block Earner appealed the Federal Court’s decision that it needed a financial services license on July 9, 2024.

Block Carner對聯邦法院的裁決提出上訴，即2024年7月9日需要金融服務許可證。
